Sampdoria and Genoa are both serious about Lazio forward Felipe Caicedo, who is carefully considering his options.

As reported by Italian media outlet Calciomercato.it earlier today, the 32-year-old Ecuadorian forward seems destined to leave the Roman club this month, with coach Maurizio Sarri preferring Vedat Muriqi to be Ciro Immobile’s backup.

A draft agreement between Lazio and Genoa regarding a deal has been written and a two-year contract has been agreed by Caicedo, who is now starting to consider his options a little more.

The 32-year-old Caicedo, also under pressure from his wife, likes it in Rome but wants to choose his future destination calmly. In this stalemate, Sampdoria have inserted themselves in the running, staging a classic transfer market Derby della Lanterna.
